Inventor: BOLLE DAVID
IPC: H02J7/14
Filed: 1996-01-11
Abstract: A control arrangement (10) for an electrical charging system for selectively connecting alternator means (18) producing charging current at each of six outputs (22,26,30,22 min ,26 min ,30 min ) to the output of a first battery (34) and the output of a second battery (46) serially connected to the first battery (34), comprises a plurality of switchable full wave bridge rectifiers (78) for connecting each of the alternator outputs to the second battery output (50) so that the second battery (46) is charged. The rectifiers (78) are switchably connectible to the first battery output (38) so that the first battery (34) is charged. The arrangement also includes a switching circuit (74) for switching first one, and then the next of each of the switchable circuits as the voltage across the first battery (34) is increasingly less than the voltage across the second battery (46) so that the rate of charging of the first battery (34) is determined by the amount the voltage across the first battery (34) is less than the voltage across the second battery (46).

Title: Ring-shaped jewellery, like a finger ring or a bracelet with an external ring rotatively mounted
Inventor: PASQUETTI ORNELLA
IPC: A44C9/00
Filed: 2000-02-14
Abstract: The jewellery, such as a ring or bracelet, has an external ring which is able to turn between two lateral annular edges of a concentric internal ring. The internal ring is constituted by a soldered assembly of two half rings of the same diameter, the same external configuration and same axial length. Each half ring is formed from an annular part (3,4) comprising, from an end edge, a bulge (3b,4b) which forms a side retaining strip for the external ring. They also have a cylindrical annular part (3c,4c) able to engage in the external ring. Each of the annular parts, at its opposite end edge, has a tubular part (3e,4e) of reduced thickness relative to the thickness of the annular cylindrical part .   The reduced thickness parts extend from the internal surface (3a) and from the external surface of the cylindrical annular parts. They thus define, when the two annular parts are abutted to form an internal ring, an internal annular cavity able to receive the solder.

Abstract: The structural steel rolling mill comprises a reversing two high rough rolling mill, at least one universal working rolling mill and at least one flanging edging rolling mill included in a reversing tandem rolling mill group, and a universal finishing rolling mill at the outlet end of the structural steel rolling mill. The reversing tandem group following the rough rolling mill has a universal working rolling mill, a flanging edging rolling mill and the universal finishing rolling mill. By including the universal finishing rolling mill in the reversing tandem rolling mill group the universal finishing rolling mill also participates in the reversing action and because of that is more effective in shaping than the standard finishing rolling mill so that in practice the special universal finishing rolling mill following the reversing tandem group is omitted as well as the edging rolling mill commonly provided with it and the roller bed located between them. The dimensional accuracy and the surface properties of the rolled product as well as the service life of the rolls of the universal finishing rolling mill are not impaired when the reduction of the universal finishing rolling mill is set smaller than that of the universal working rolling mill.
